About Downtown Portland Clean & Safe

The Downtown Portland Clean & Safe District provides enhanced services to the people, places and businesses within a core 273-block area of our central city. The district is one of the oldest, largest and most successful enhanced service districts in the nation.Originally founded in 1988 as an informal group of downtown property owners and managers, the Downtown Portland Clean & Safe District was later formalized in city code in 1991. The district underwent several renewals in the 1990s before Portland City Council decided to renew the district every 10 years in 2001.
